I think parent is completely missing the point. In my opinion the way it should be is that in the backend you export a typed function like "getTasks(filter: Filter): Tasks

And in the frontend component you should be able to use it immediately and it would be correctly typed without having to duplicate types or anything. And if function is not complete yet it will not render the component before.

This should be instead of REST and Graphql, both of which have many issues imo.
This is true. We didn't even have wifi in school until my last year there (2007-2008). If you wanted to use a computer you had to go to the library or be in a classroom that had a few in the back.
This post says more about the author's experience than Python, especially with the list of exceptions. The common pattern behind those exceptions is that they're not as simple as the examples, which gets to a better lesson that OO is not pointless but that you should use it cautiously when you know that your problem domain has a sufficiently complex combination of state and code. Anything is going to seem simpler when you have 2 variables and the whole thing is 20 lines and while it's definitely useful to pause before accreting complexity it's also important to remember that projects and teams come in many different forms and there's no guarantee that something which works for you on a project now will be the best option for someone else with different needs.
They could have let users define their own sync server. Instead they just opted to limit user choice and cripple users that wish to opt out of Google services but obtain similar functionality from services they host or from a third party.

This is how Google does things in Android too.

Now that sync features will be closed source with no accountability, the potential for abuse for more data collection from users is high.
> And he’s delusional about research skills of WSB posters as compared to Wall Street analysts.

I think it's a mistake to take his comments as applying to WSB as a whole. I agree WSB posters, collectively, are mostly clueless. But there are absolutely people in there who know what they're doing and have put a lot of thought into their strategy.
It took me a while to realize my younger peers have no recollection of times when we didn't know if the planets existed outside our solar system at all. Now it's like the obvious part in the Drake equation, mind-boggling.

Ok, yes - except that with Rowling it's 100% cancel culture - and it has to stop, now.

Rowling's views are not 'dated' (that's your opinion) - they are thought out, and reasonable. They are controversial, possibly.

Of course, nobody has to buy her books. It's a little infantile, but it's fine. I don't.

The issue is not 'people not buying her books' - the issue is that people are trying to suppress and silence her, and stop the publication of her books & material.

It's 100% 'cancel culture' for groups to organize and vent their petty, minority opinions towards instilling fear in publishers, distributors, points-of-sale, and pressure other groups (i.e. Hollywood, Netflix) to suppress the voices of those they disagree with.

That is exactly cancel culture - and it's why so many of those luminary thinkers had to take out a page in Harper's.

If we were allowed to do anonymous voting on these things it would be snuffed out immediately, the antagonizing base is very small.
The only reason I withhold the name is it may have not been endorsed by the consultant company itself. But here is the verbiage if anyone is interested. So, did I misread this, or is it as bad as I thought? It did list a rate of $60 per hour, so at least that wasn't open ended. Also note, that this was for a client of theirs who was in the process of staff reduction, then had a bunch more people jump ship with skills that they hadn't outsourced yet. So the client company was most likely a shit-show.

PRE-INTERVIEW AGREEMENT

[ bunch of non-disclosure terms ]

4. For a period of 48 hours after the Interview, CANDIDATE agrees that if he/she is selected, he/she will positively and unconditionally join the assignment for which REDACTED has represented.

...

7. Because monetary damages are difficult to ascertain and are likely to be inadequate to compensate REDACTED for any breach of this Agreement, CANDIDATE agrees that REDACTED shall be entitled to injunctive relief (both temporary and permanent) for any breach or proposed breach of this Agreement. In addition, CANDIDATE shall be liable for any damages, costs and fees incurred by REDACTED related to any breach of this Agreement. CANDIDATE also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless REDACTED for any and all losses, costs and other liabilities incurred, including costs and fees related to any breach of the obligations set forth herein.

Did he not hear that 136% of the shares were short? Anybody, LITERALLY ANYBODY who shorted past 100% deserves to lose everything. It's fundamentally stupid and fundamentally wrong. The shorts are not getting screwed, they deserve what they get from this.

Then he goes on to retail investors being the ones who are sometimes going to get hurt?

How did such terrible, poor, awful analysis get a position on TV? If he had any point, he never ever made it.
Too much of that is markup. The cost of MRI machines is down, and the cost of CT scanners is way down. But charges for those services have not dropped to match.
Or to further add to your point, we literally have frothy equities because we had to print our way out of the last debacle.

They are complaining about a necessary situation they created lol. We need to stimulate investment to get out of the last crisis (that was the plan all along). What are these cats complaining about?
From what I understand generic drugs are currently often made overseas, and then sold back to American market.

Its a super complex problem to solve, it has been done in some way many times before but not with the exact constraints and tradeoffs that fit well to the rest of the ipfs architecture and that will work on a global scale with unreliable connections and delivery times in the area of ~ a second. Maybe some ipfs dev reads this and can chime in but as far as i understand they are not even really sure about what the correct algorithm for message distribution should be to build on.
If you only need that, all the extra stuff is useless.
No doubt, there is some good stuff in there as well. A few DDs are very in-depth and surprisingly good. I don’t think the whole subreddit is like that.
I'm also confused by this.

~This medicine is for sale here in the Netherlands, over the counter, for $3.3 dollars. No that period is not a mistake.~

~That's for a pack of 6 tablets. How the heck do they end up at $13 cost?~

Edit: Google autocorrected to a similar drug. This specific drug is actually $4.50 per tablet here and prescription only. That's still a massive difference.

Relevant sidenote: it's fully covered as well so I wouldn't even get a bill.
Of the many cows I've met in my life few seemed to be weighed down by the harsh conditions of their existence and burdened by foreknowledge of their early death. Maybe a cow contemplating your existence would similarly wonder how you could possibly bear it?

In any case compared to a lot of life both cows and humans seem to me to be doing pretty well in terms of realistically attainable levels of happiness and life expectancy. We don't die an agonizing death from horrendous facial tumours spread by periodically chewing each others' faces off and being literally eaten alive by our offspring is not the pinnacle of our existence.
Wow that’s insane
Awesome! Thanks for the correction! I think it would still be a true statement to say that 99.9% of A-10 pilots have their first flight in a one-seater flying solo.
DHS just issued a (fairly rare) threat advisory, regarding current risk from violent US extremists. https://www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisory/national-terrorism-advisor...

"DVEs motivated by a range of issues, including anger over COVID-19 restrictions, the 2020 election results, and police use of force have plotted and on occasion carried out attacks against government facilities. " -- This doesn't seem like Antifa

"Long-standing racial and ethnic tension—including opposition to immigration—has driven DVE attacks, including a 2019 shooting in El Paso, Texas that killed 23 people." -- This doesn't seem like Antifa

"DHS is concerned these same drivers to violence will remain through early 2021 and some DVEs may be emboldened by the January 6, 2021 breach of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. to target elected officials and government facilities." -- This doesn't seem like Antifa

It sort of seems like the reason someone might shout ANTFA over and over is to distract from actual threats from actual violent extremists - the same folks that Andy Ngo hangs out with.
I am 100% fine with telling them this is wrong. I'm quite vocal about this being wrong.

But I am not okay with unleashing random internet people on a mentally ill person, which could easily spiral into a mob that involves death threats, doxing of personal info, etc. Hell, I'm not okay doing that to a mentally healthy person.
The CDC? :)
In the US and UK's most recent national elections, there were two candidates who sought to build multi-ethnic coalitions of working people, and did a pretty good job of it considering how much hate and slander they received from the media and their own parties.

The template for a movement is out there, and we're not as divided as you think. Just ignore academics and journalists lol.

I've dabbled with WebRTC API over the years, and I think I understand and can explain fairly clearly (to myself) the user's end of it.

Not only that, but the second example is object-oriented, he's just doing it "by hand" rather than taking advantage of the built-in language syntax (which, in spite of his insistence to the contrary, does make it clearer what's actually going on).
A hypothesis:

The problems associated with poverty and economic affect both minorities and whites. However, racism adds an extra layer of difficulties on top of the more general problems---and poor whites are some of the strongest supporters of this extra layer. Further, racism has been a problem longer than (the current wave of) poverty and economic inequality. (See, for example, the 1950s and 60s when inequality was lower but racism was much stronger.)

Edit: A corollary of this: the "problems associated with poverty and economic affect both minorities and whites" can be seen as a way to distract attention from the very real problems of racism.
So.. Someone who was 12 back then is now 29. Doesn't seem that wild to me.
I've spent an afternoon testing zstd's custom dictionaries. It really only provides benefits on small data blocks. According to my tests, the largest blocks at which custom dictionaries could still provide a benefit is 8K, above that the compression ratio advantage compared to the default is definitely gone.
I agree, it feels dishonest to start out by saying "where was that message in 2008?" and then within seconds "guess who was right about Tesla?".

By that logic, Wall Street was "right" for years, because housing prices just kept going up and up and up and up. This story didn't end yesterday, it's entirely possible that the Tesla shorts were "just premature" the same way that the people who started shorting the housing market in 2005 were premature (and took a beating during those years).

And the praise for /r/wallstreetbets seems a bit excessive considering that by his own admission, he only just learned about them a couple of days ago. I don't know how much time he's spent there but I'm not sure that his read on the place is especially accurate.

They do acknowledge in the article itself that it is correlation and that it could be reverse causation:

> “Those who feel worse may turn to social media for solace or community,” Dr Amy Orben, research fellow at Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge, said of the research.

“It’s not a vacuum, it works both ways."

But the actual article headline is the typical clickbait interpretation of a scientific study.
It is not guaranteed that a regular American can get drugs from another country. In the past few years, you have been able to legally bring a few months of drugs back from Canada if you visited in person. But if you order drugs online, the drugs are at risk of being seized. Sometimes they get through fine, sometimes they are seized for things as silly as improper labeling (or the drug being straight up illegal to import). You can still save money on many drugs if you can accept the risk or you can order far enough in advance to be able to reorder if one of your packages gets seized. Ordering drugs from another country is a slightly better plan to save money than making friends with a veterinarian. But most people should just go to the local pharmacy and work with their insurance provider or state aid programs if they can't afford their prescriptions.

Ironically, the Trump administration recently allowed states to import drugs from other countries to enable them to offer lower cost drugs through state run programs, but was still seizing the same products if they were ordered by individuals. While I can't really complain about an initiative to lower drug costs, the mental gymnastics needed to come up with this plan are pretty incredible. "We don't think price controls are compatible with a capitalist society, so we won't implement them. But we campaigned on lower drug prices (since that will increase our appeal among the elderly), so we have to do something. Let's import drugs from countries that do have price controls. But people can't order the drugs themselves, we have to protect them from themselves. We have to order the drugs and repackage them with new labels, because we need American instructions and American warning labels, not the instructions and warnings that the Canadian government is fine with."

Right now, it's better/easier for most people to get their drugs from a local pharmacist with our current system. If Mark Cuban is willing to throw a lot of capital and break up the price collusion between established drug companies, then I suppose it's a step in the right direction. We should be happy to accept lower prices and get to work on fixing other important problems with our healthcare system.
Yep, agreed. I found that the active control loops (coupled with the forgiving "just crashloop until our dependencies are up" approach) that k8s provides/promotes are the only sane way to ensure complex deployments. (The concepts could be used to create a new config management platform, but it would be really hard, as most of the building blocks are not idempotent, and making them such usually requires wrapping them and combining them with very I/O and CPU heavy reset/undo operations, blowing caches and basically starting from scratch.)
Very poignant example!

Apple warns of “remote attacker” security threat, releases iOS 14.4 update
Chamath has the best take I've heard on it.

The people in WSB do know they're playing a wildly risky game. They know it's wild. They know it's gambling. They know there will be bagholders. There were also plenty of savvy people on this early, understanding the bull case that Michael Burry pointed out and the potential for a short squeeze.

It was the hedge funds who went over 100% short who were foolish here, not the momentum trading WSB crowd who helped cause the squeeze.

The interviewer and just about everyone else I've heard are missing the squeeze part of this. Yes, GME isn't worth $20+ billion. But Volkswagen shouldn't have been the most valuable company in the world in 2008, but it was. Short squeezes are just part of the market. Good on WSB for piling in.
Taking the holistic view includes recognizing that systemic racism contributes to those class differences and vice versa: it's a pretty brutal feedback loop, and requires addressing both ends of it in order to fix it.

You wouldn't have a word processor? There's lots of word processors for CP/M, MS-DOS, Amiga, Atari, Tandy TRS-80, Tandy CoCo, not to mention proprietary machines like the Tandy 100/102/200 portables. A USB-Serial adapter works just fine. Or you can get a bluetooth or wifi modem that connects your old machine to the net.
Those hedge funds covering their short positions have already acknowledged their fall by covering. The whole point of the short is sticking around for the fall.
> Additionally, the only people left being bag holders here so far are the hedge fund

“So far” is carrying a lot of weight here.
This makes no sense. The hedge funds that cover their shorts are the ones taking the fall; entering a short at $20 and exiting at $300 is the fall.
They buy creators this way. In social networks and winner-take-all market it's logical.
There's two ways of reading - scrolling your eyes from side to side, then down, or just scrolling down with your eyes (no side-to-side).

Smaller widths make it easier for the "read the whole line in one glance" readers and is I think the main reason for this confusion.

Sometimes I like just glancing down a page and getting the gist of the screen. Other times I prefer to let my eyes do extra work and read denser text.
Even Wall Street has losers, of course not every DD will touch gold. People in a forum like HN would ought to know Wall Street has been gamified for the longest time. People will gamble irregardless if they do so on the stock market or not. The people calculated enough to make money knows the sort of risk they are taking. The earth continues the spin - the only difference is that some retail investors having started taking note of what has been happening and are capitalizing on it. Chamath or Elon and their vested interests are irrelevant - backing democratization or individual investors isn't a bad thing.
I think that you are being too optimistic here.
My problem with antique hardwood furniture is that the logistics of delivery and assembly are sometimes too much for me to handle. If I hire movers and a carpenter to assemble it gets expensive and out of my reach very quickly. I'd love to learn some carpentry and also how to drive and also get a truck, but I don't love it as much as I love my other crafty or spending based hobbies, and I don't have room for a shop or parking space for a truck.

Most of my IKEA stuff can't even leave the room it's in without disassembly. I just leave them behind when I move or actually have to pay for someone to dismantle them and take them away from the place. Not sure if they sell them as scrap or as furniture but it's cheap because they get to keep whatever they helped me get rid of. Also sometimes I've just put it for free on Craigslist and they last days and get taken.
It is not that Tesla is good, it is that their competitors are terrible.

I knew that Tesla is all integrated, you don't even realize you are paying. But I naively expected competition to work like a gas station: insert your credit card to start charging, or, if there is a counter, you can also go there and pay cash.

But no, it doesn't work like that. There are competing standards, you have to download apps and all of that nonsense.

And why should automakers deal with charging stations? Automakers have to come up with a standard plug, and it looks like we are almost there with CCS2. Now it is up to the charging stations to provide a better experience. Gas cars and electric appliances do it right, why does it have to be worse for electric cars?
One good use for Python's OOP is operator overloading. Since Python doesn't have type signatures, you can't overload the "plus" operator with a free function like you can in C++. Writing numerical code without operator overloading is painful.

>And he’s delusional about research skills of WSB posters as compared to Wall Street analysts.

Certainly there's a crowd on WSB that are just sheep, but there is a minority of WSB posters that produce quality research and analysis. The idea that Wall Street insiders are elite, a different breed, is mostly a myth. There are smart people working Wall St to be sure, but there are lots of smart people working elsewhere.
